Episode 182

Most of the exorcists of the subjugation group lost their fighting spirit during the large-scale bombardment carried out by the former Yusakbi at the cost of the damage.I had no choice but to do so.
With just one attack that gave up self-defense, more than half of the personnel died or fell into a state of incapacity.
If you fight against him any longer, the only thing in front of you is death. Everyone realized it without a doubt.
Eun-chan Lee, who used the same dormitory as Han Kang-yun for a while, and a second-class exorcist, was one of them.
‘What the hell is this… … ?’
He felt a wall in the battle with the monster that was judged as an A+ rank in the past.
Even though he didn’t fight from the front, he just served as an assistant in the rear.
Because there was nothing Lee Eun-chan could do, and the life of an exorcist was too light in front of a high-ranking youkai.
But now, as the years have passed, he has overcome those fears and feels ready to take the next step.
That’s why I applied for this subjugation team.
however.
‘Hey, it was an absurd misunderstanding.’
Even the A+ rank youkai, whom he had been afraid of before, were nothing more than a town idiot bragging about his strength in front of that rock monster.
One step of the foot shakes the heavens and the earth, and one swing of the hand kills several exorcists called Naero.
It was definitely a disaster that shouldn’t exist in the world. There was no such thing as a mere human being.
He tried to stand in front of such a monster with such a low resolution that he felt infinitely stupid.
‘Sa, I want to live.’
At that very moment, Eun-chan Lee recalled the words Han Kang-yoon had said to me as if passing by.
[It won’t be that much. To survive, you’ll have to let go of all the common sense you’ve had.]
If you think about it, Kang-yoon Han already knew. What kind of existence an S-rank youkai is, and how unreasonable a disaster is.
Despite knowing all the facts differently from him, Han Kang-yoon came to this place.
At that fact, Eun-chan Lee suddenly felt ashamed of herself.
It was even more so when I saw the battle of Han Kang-yoon that unfolded.
Han Kang-yun was strong, brave, and did not waver.
‘… He’s a great guy.’
Lee Eun-chan did not know of an exorcist who could fight like that beyond his age.
In the world, there were people who were called exorcists, but Eun-chan Lee, too, had only seen it on video or heard about it through rumors until today.
And, when Han Kang-yoon, who went into the mysterious veil after chasing the rock monster, finally brought his head and laid it out in front of everyone, Eun-chan Lee felt a thrill.
Clearly, Han Kang-yoon, who was once considered to be something he had to protect, now seemed like a great man on a completely different line.
In fact, the size of the bowl was different.
“Did I really catch him?”
“Yes. Completely finished.”
With the help of the nearby exorcists, the elderly first-class exorcist Lee Moon-hyung, who barely healed his wounds, opened his eyes wide as if he could not believe it.
Such reactions were not significantly different from others.
It was actually more difficult not to be surprised, as I had actually witnessed an activity that seemed to come out of an old story.
Eun-chan Lee, at this moment, peered into a wall that she could not overcome for the rest of her life.
But on the other hand, I was convinced that something had really changed inside of me.
I don’t know, but it wasn’t a negative feeling.
‘This is a true exorcist… … .’
After Han Kang-yoon had finished speaking, Eun-chan Lee hurriedly approached and supported her body without realizing it.
Then Han Kang-yoon smiled and said to Lee Eun-chan.
“You haven’t run away for a long time.”
“… I have nothing to say. This time it didn’t help much.”
“Good job. In essence, life is the most precious law.”
To think of it as a consolation, Han Kang-yoon’s words were quite sincere.
Lee Eun-chan, who was in a slightly bewildered state, soon realized the meaning contained in it and admired it deeply.
‘… is it.’
His own life was not his only life.
The lives of all the exorcists here are equally precious.
Knowing this, Han Kang-yoon did not hesitate.
In fact, Han Kang-yoon was only joking, but Lee Eun-chan was shocked and sighed in despair until Han Kang-yoon left the seat.
Then I decided to look back.
I don’t know if the next time we meet will come, but at least until then, I will become a person with that kind of mindset.

‘Saksin is aching.’
After confronting Yusakbi using the path of the Phantom Priestess, I had a final battle in which I literally poured everything out.
The win was really just one point.
It was just that the limit came to Yoo Sak-bi faster than my strength was exhausted.
At the time, I struggled in many ways, but it was really the best choice to aim for an opportunity without using all my might.
‘Compared to the guy in the original, only one characteristic and a few levels were different.’
The difference was infinitely small, yet infinitely large.
Even at the end, I almost got hit in the head with an unexpected escape, so I could assert that it was a very dangerous turn.
‘Hell difficulty, too, is not easy to see.’
Considering what has happened so far, it has certainly been exerting a greater and greater influence over time.
I had to assume that a more difficult moment would surely come in the future.
‘… That said, it was a good fight.’
Even if I think about it, my skills have really risen to a level that I can’t ignore now.
No, to be honest, this body of Han Kang-yoon has a much better sense than the original me.
If my experience and knowledge and the sense of Han Kang-yoon’s body were combined, I might be able to reach a level I had never reached before.
‘The wall of No. 1 ranking could not be overcome.’
The existence of not knowing whether it was him or her was truly amazing. To be honest, I was confident that if I only increased the play time up to that point, I could somehow get past it, but I could assert that 1st place was definitely not enough.
Well, since he was a person outside of common sense, he would have been able to occupy and protect the throne of No.1.
Recalling the battle for the first place that I had fought many times in the past, I was immersed in anguish and reflected on every move.
‘If it’s Han Kang-yoon’s body, will it be able to respond?’
I can’t be sure, because it was something I didn’t know unless I actually tried it.

Moreover, it has now become a re-war that cannot be concluded.However, it didn’t feel bad.
Rather, because of that, I thought it was more meaningful.
rattle.
While taking a break in the space specially provided by the subjugation team, I raised my lower body and fell into contemplation about the future.
Now that we’ve dealt with the cost of changing money, which was an immediate stumbling block, there are roughly two things left to do.
‘The S-rank youkai that appeared on Yoo Ha-on’s party, and the line of Jin Myung.’
If I had to pick the one with higher priority, I’m sorry, but it was the latter.
‘Damage Jin Myung is dangerous.’
He is very strong and clever. Whatever plan he is devising must be stopped.
‘Fortunately, the foundation for that time has been laid to some extent.’
This subjugation of Yusakbi will also be a part of it in a way.
I did an outstanding performance that no one could deny, and the fame that resulted from it would raise the value of my name again.
‘The time has come to visit the headquarters at least once.’
By taking the Exorcist Qualification Test early, he broke the record of Jeong Ha, and this time, along with the case of Myodousa last time, he was clearly the main character in defeating the S rank.
At this point, my skills are clearly proven.
Given his age and future potential, of course the headquarters would try to make contact with them as well.
Incidentally, at that moment, a knock on the door was heard.
Knock.
smart.
“Excuse me. There are people who have visited the headquarters to meet Han Kang-yoon.”
“You are welcome to come in.”
“… That, yes.”
click.
Exactly as expected.
Behind the man who came in with the door open, several strong men and women who appeared to be personnel from the headquarters came into view.
‘yes?’
However, something a bit strange stood out. The men of the subjugation squad, who act as guides, are excessively rigid, and the momentum that comes from those behind them is unusual.
’emotion.’
Tiling!
【Hong Yong-taek】
▶Level: 55
[Yun Seol-ha]
▶Level: 53
【Wei Jichan】
▶Level: 52
‘All three are level 1?’
It was obviously weird. There was no reason to send such a valuable human resource only as a contact person in an emergency like now.
Besides, the patterns engraved on the main balls they have.
“It came from the executive branch. Are you Kang-yoon Han?”
“… That’s right.”
“For the murder of civilians and many exorcists, I will arrest your recruits from now on.”
It was the moment when the exorcism headquarters’ executive branch, the officers belonging to it, suddenly condemned me.

‘What the hell is this?’
To be honest, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t react properly.
If I caught a monster, I caught it, but I’ve never even caught a human, no matter how much I think about it. If so, what they say is most likely a lie.
But in a situation like this, what is the reason for them to drag me around and do such things?
“I will go to my home base and listen to the argument. Until then, if you do anything suspicious, I will suppress it immediately.”
I was frankly annoyed by their attitude towards criminals, but I couldn’t help it.
Because there was nothing good about making things bigger for nothing, and I wasn’t in a proper state because of the battle with Yusakbi.
The bailiffs who took me to one of the headquarters’ bases, recited all my crimes there, and started checking the facts.
Naturally, I protested, and I confronted them without hesitation.
He didn’t commit any crimes anyway, and he probably had a lot of ties to it, because there was no reason to be reckless even if the executor at the headquarters was the opponent.
However, their attitude towards me as if they were abominations, and the feast of crimes that were so detailed, even such a country could not help but be embarrassed.
‘… Is there any common sense reason for acting like this?’
If you want something, you just have to hold me down like this and take it.
But they were quite sincere. It was as if I was really sinning and hiding.
No matter how much I thought about it, when I was convinced that it wasn’t just acting, they couldn’t stand it and showed a screen of evidence in front of me.
“It’s disgusting. Are you going to stick with it until the end?”
“… I’ll check it out and let you know.”
What kind of evidence do you have to come out with such a decisive attitude?
After checking the screen, I was able to fully understand their thoughts.
‘… Damn it, something’s wrong.’
A man in an academy cadet uniform is brutally killing exorcists on the screen.
From my point of view, it was obviously none other than me.
